My prediction when the cap came in was that eventually it would evolve into system where each team has about 5 elite players on lucrative long term contracts, followed by 3 or 4 on medium-pay long term deals, followed by about 15 or so players on minimum salary, short term deals.
There would be many more elite "lifers", but the bottom half will rotate constantly.
It's taking a lot longer than I though it would, but seeing how many more average players are getting squeezed every year, I can see it moving that way. Sissons was smart to sign a long term deal even if it seems like a discount now. Bennett would be smart to do the same.
